ICRC action in the People's Republic of Angola. — During the last few months the ICRC has carried on in Angola its assistance (medicosurgical services and distribution of food to needy persons) and its protection (mainly the work of the Central Tracing Agency), with a team of delegates at Luanda, another at Huambo, and three medico-surgical teams, one at Dalatando, one at Vouga, and one mobile, visiting the hospitals and dispensaries in the Huambo district. The team at Dalatando was provided by the Swedish Red Cross, the Vouga team by the British Red Cross, and the mobile team by the Swiss Red Cross. In all, the ICRC delegation in the People's Republic of Angola (RPA), led by Mr. C.-A. Neukomm, numbered thirty persons, not counting the locally recruited staff.
